I did also try sudo chmod 777 /dev/kvm before executing the kvm module and a hardwired network connection rather than wireless - no difference in the long wait.
While the kvm module is running for about 35 seconds the system monitor is saying sync_buffer or sync_wait in the waiting channel column and the memory used stays I believe at just 800k for the whole time.
